    Palermo's front entrance

    Review for Palermo's Restaurant - Bordentown, NJ Palermo's Restaurant is a spacious, family-friendly pizzeria with plenty of seating, making it a great spot for dining in. My wife and I visited with the goal of enjoying some good garlic knots, and in that regard, we were pleased. The garlic knots were quite nice--warm, flavorful, and delicious. Unfortunately, the rest of our meal didn't quite live up to expectations. The cheese slice was a letdown--super thin, floppy, and lacking in both cheese and sauce. I was hoping for a more balanced and satisfying bite. We also tried the cheesesteaks, which were just okay. While not bad, they didn't stand out, and I've definitely had bigger and better ones elsewhere. That being said, Palermo's does have an extensive lunch and dinner menu, which makes me want to give it another shot. There's potential here, and I'm hoping a second visit will be more impressive. For now, I'd rate this place 2.5 out of 5.

    Chicken Parm Pizza

    This was definitely one of the best chicken parm pizzas I've ever had. I've been going to Palermos for years now, I usually go with a tomato pie. I wanted to switch it up this time, definitely did not disappoint!

    Very nice and friendly staff that was welcoming to me and my friends as we walked in a little before closing. The establishment was clean & gave the feels of a pizza joint. Guests that were already there recommended the pies that we got & they didn't steer us wrong. Thats always a good sign when guests do the selling for you. Pizza was very good and I'm not even a fan of thin slices. I would definitely come back and try the others that they offer and explore the menu. David Portnoy even visited and i saw he left his famous review!

    We live close to Palermo's and since we've moved in it has been our go to pizza spot. We typically stick to the tomato pies. Good sweet marinara with a tasty cheese blend. We've gotten bruschetta from there as well and have enjoyed it. We've yet to try specialty pizzas but plan on it. Will continue to keep coming beee.

    Kinda just walked in and had no direction on where to go. Didn't know if we had to order in front or could be seated. Took about 5 minutes to get a guide and be seated in a bigger table for 8. After all the hype at work about this pizza joint, here I was, with the group! Tried their Classic Pizza with Eggplant and their signature Tomato Pie. We also sampled their Fried Zucchini and Jalapeño Poppers that had cheddar cheese. I have to say, the crust was thin and delicious. I'm a sucker for eggplant and was craving it that day, but their Tomato Pie, which was what they were known for, takes it! In regards to parking, somewhat limited, had to park in the gravel/dirt on a rainy day, since parking was shared. There is a good amount of seating and can host for bigger groups. Food came out in a timely manner, with the exception of one order, another penne vodka, but one of our party members didn't mind since the serving was generous and inhaled it in a few moments once it was received. To keep things simple, Venmo/Cashapp a single person to fork the bill for the table... took a bit to get out of there after eating. I apologize for the make shift pics, I was super hungry and needed the food to get in my belly!

    We live in North Carolina every time we come to New Jersey this is our go to place for great pizza. Went there the other night and had Brooklyn Pizza margarita pizza and their pizza with sausage has real sausage. It's not that cut up sausage as we call it. And Loretta and the Owner are awesome.

    A huge thank you to Palermo's especially Vince and his entire staff for helping make my early 50th birthday celebration so special! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was outstanding, and everything was perfect from start to finish. Highly recommend!

    Classic Mini cannoli.

    It seems like a historic restaurant so it's not modern or trendy but it's classic. Apparently it's a BYOB... they don't have a bar or alcohol drinks. I have never been to a restaurant that is BYOB. The server (Miranda) was sweet. Young, energetic and nice. The Cesar salad was good. The pizza (pie) was good. We had a classic cheese pie.

    Small tomato pie added basil

    Passed by Palmermo's tomato pies today on my way to Atlantic City . I placed the order by phone and I wanted to arrive before it's done so it don't sit in the box and get soggy . My main reason why I do that is because I want the pie crispy . I've been here at least 5 or 6 times and it's always a home run . I took a pic of the pie when I got it and again as shown a pic of the under carriage to show that they put too much sauce in the middle of the pie which made it soggy . I was disappointed but not completely discouraged because the taste is there but the main allure of the pizza to me is the crispiness unfortunately I didn't get that today . I will definitely continue to stop by on my way to Atlantic City . This still remains my top 5 pizza shops in all of New York and New Jersey.

    Awesome Pizza-throw some clams on there and it's muah  chefs kiss

    The Palermo's salad and tomato pie were excellent; the white pizza with broccoli had entirely too much broccoli, but still tasted good.

Tonight Jimbo took great care to ensure we had a flawless dining experience which we did. We opt'ed for mainly chef specials this evening opening up with a delicious coconut shrimp, butterfly, grilled dusted, and fabulous seasonings, and topped off with a Thai chili sauce for dipping. Nice size or white tenders can be an incredible flavor profile. Next, I had the stuffed shrimp with crab meat and black ink linguine and first off the plating presentation was outstanding and then the flavor profile that followed was incredible and I'm not a pasta person, but this was certainly worth breaking my own self imposed rules about pasta. And my wife had the Villa Marcello, and it was tender and moist, and absolutely memorable. All in all a fun, tasty relaxing evening on a day with crazy storming skies.

We had 3 different entrees that came out hot; each was delicious and plentiful. I enjoyed the shells in a white wine ragu, wife said risotto with shrimp and scallops ( even placed scallops on side bc she doesn't like them... but we did!) was great, and nephew had another pasta that he devoured. Overall, an excellent visit bc of great food, nice ambiance, and attentive service by Kyle who allowed us to enjoy an evening of a relaxed dinner like it would happen in Italy.

They were complemented with cocktail sauce, watermelon mignonette, and fresh grated horseradish. * Crab Salad Special: Served in a martini glass. It featured cold, chilled crab marinated with tequila, triple sec, and lime, carefully laid on a bed of avocado mousse with an Old Bay-lined rim.
